It's all nonsense anyway. People have a whole lot of reasons for visiting New York and
wanting to visit New York. I wouldn't put to look at and admire an airport anywhere on that list, no matter how nice it may be. And New Yorkers, of course, couldn't give a shit.
NO, what people want (and need) in an airport is to get there as quickly as possible, get to their gates as quickly as possible, and to get out of there as quickly as possible. No one wants an airport that is falling down around them, obviously. But at the end of the day, there's a threshold to where "nice" begins, and no amount of increase above that is going to make a bit of difference. There's a lot that needs to be rebuilt in New York, let's not just waste money on trying to build something "fancy" out of a false need to impress.
LaGuardia needs to be rebuilt as a modern and efficient airport. People either want to get out of there quickly (to Manhattan for tourists, or home or everyone else), or on board their flights quickly (to wherever). If for some unfortunate reason you have to sleep there (airlines), no amount of fancy building is going to make you happy about it.
